This card will probably retail in the $500-$700 range. I really don't understand why anybody would pay a price like that for a video card. Granted it's great for gaming, but man! get a console for crying out loud if your main purpose is gaming! LOL Anyway, anything above $125 or so for a video card is just too much for me.

Okay, sorry to sound obvious here, but why don't you just convert the m4a files to mp3 with iTunes? In you iTunes libray, right click on the m4a song and select "Convert to MP3" from the dropdown menu...

Kona, with the difference that Mac computers will now be able to run Windows as well as OSX. You may not be able to OSX on a non-Mac PC but the othe way around will be possible. So, somebody wanting a dual-boot Windows/OSX will be able to do it with the next generation Mac computers.

JesseJ, you can buy many things that are not Stardock related: wallpapers, icons, screensavers, sound packs, so why not skins? Of course, there are also plenty of the above available for free. It's just a choice, not an obligation. If you don't want to pay for any of these, there will always be plenty of free alternatives.

OK. I got it fixed. Note to FF users, here's the fix: 1) Browse to your C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default\chrome\ Directory 2) Create a file named userChrome.css if it doesn't already exist 3) Add the following line to the file: (note: you don't need the namespace line if it's already there) /* * Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning */ @namespace url("http : //

Swede, it's WC's policy. Most smaller non-Stardock appliations have placed a reciprocal link on their site. They have to show the interest of having a setion here. If the developer is not even interested enough, why should we? Stardock has nothing against Trillian, as a matter of fact most Stardcok employees use it.

Hum... I respect others opinion. I'm OK with the USA wanting to stop horse meat being sold or eaten; it's their country, their culture. Personnaly, I think horse meat is just simply the best tasting meat. You just can't know how good it tastes until you've had some. But, as I said, sa much as I like horse meat, I respect others who have a more personal relationship with these animals and don't want to eat them. Nobody could force me to eat cats or dogs, but I don't mind if other people do (as l

Indeed he says "most"... But he makes it sound like the balance is negligeable, and I'm not too sure it's that negligeable. And while it's true that a lot of people use pirated copies of software because they can't affort it, I don't think it represents even a majority. I know plenty of people who use pirated software, not because they can't affort to buy it, but just because it's there and easy to get. "Why pay when I can get it for free?" is a more generalised argument than "I wish I could buy

Well, it's one point of view, but I think that he is making some mistakes. Also I don't understand his maths when he says: $28,000 is a lot of product! Let's assume your product is a higher end product and sells for $500. That's 56 products. Which is more productive - trying to sell 56 more products - or preventing 56 losses? There is a

The problem with CrossOver or Wine is that it typically supports one version down, and to me that's not good enough. It supports Office XP when Office XP 2003 is the current latest version, same for Dreamweaver, Flash, Photoshop, etc. It will be good enough only when I can buy the very latest software - even if it was just released today - and install it on my Linux OS. Then and only then will I be able to flush my Windows partition and use only Linux. Or in this topic's case, OS X.

Hum, you think that Apple can do a better job at emulating Windows to run applications than say CrossOver Office or Wine can? Cause that's just not good enough to convince somebody to switch permanently. I would have switched to Linux a while ago if it was the case. But maybe you're right. Apple can probably put more resources into a 100% Windows compatibility layer than a smaller company such as CodeWeavers can. I'm not sure it's possible, but if it is, I think they can be the one to pul

Haven't come across anything similar for PC. Maybe you should rephrase that to "Haven't come across anything similar for Windows." as you get that using Konqueror under Linux.

http://www.mepisguides.com/color/color.html There is no way under KDE to change the color depth on the fly, as in Windows. You have to edit a system configuration file and restart KDE. Be warned though that if you change the color depth to 32, since hardware support isn't 100% great yet, KDE may not accept 32 bits. Bette stick with 24, unless you have an AT or NVidia which are better supported. Make sure you do a backup of the files you are going to edit, and take a few moments befo

What's your file system? Writting from Linux on NTFS is still experimental and I wouldn't recommend it. But to answer your question, only root can write to a Windows partition, but there are ways to get your user access anyway by editing a file. Personally, I never write to my Windows partition because I don't want to change the possible loss of data. As for the autostart question, go to your home directory, from the view menu select "show hidden files", then go to the .kde directory

I have nothing against Windowblinds, I use it all the time. BUt the fact is that there has been great Windowblinds contests before and I think that people has come up with fantastic skins before. But I think that Desktop X still has an amazing unleashed potential and I'd love to see good prizes baiting the great coders to come up with new imaginative widgets. Everybody pretty much knows that Desktop X is so much more powerfull than Dashboard or Konfabulator, but yet these apps have way more di

I know that the Playstation 3 has a STI Cell processor (STI = Sony Toshiba IBM), but I'm pretty sure the cell technology itself was developped by IBM. I'll have to check, but I seem to remember reading about IBM's R&D team coming up with this a couple of years ago.

As far as I know, the Cell architecture was developped by IBM. If Apple plans on going with it, it wouldn't make much sense to dump IBM in favour of Intel...
